Gita : Ch-11. Slo-51.

Slokam-51. ( When Arjuna thus saw Krishna in His original form, he said: Seeing this human like form, so very beautiful, my mind is now pacified, and I am restored to my original nature.)

arjuna uvaca

drshtvedam manusham rupam tava saumyam janardana,

idanimasmi samvrttah sacetah prakrtim gatah.

arjuna uvaca = Arjuna said;

janardana tava saumyam = O Lord! Your calm and pleasant;

idam manusham rupam drshtva = after seeing Your human form;

( aham) idanim sacetah = I am now with comfortable mind;

prakrtim gatah = attained ( my ) nature;

samvrttah asmi = got back ( my ) peace of mind and own consciousness.

After gazing again on Lord Krishna in human vestige looking extraordinarily phenomenal with four-arms and then again as a countenance of beauty with two arms lovely to envision with tenderness, grace, majesty and naturalness all sublimely expressing themselves ensemble and marvellous to behold.

Seeing Lord Krishna's human form so enchanting and delightful Arjuna's mind was restored to its natural tranquillity and he became placated.

Since the Supreme Lord Krishna had exhibited His original two-armed form it is said that He has taken a human form but it should be understood that the form of the Supreme Lord Krishna has a purely spiritual body which is completely transcendental to material nature being saccidannanda meaning sat or eternal existence, cit or unlimited consciousness and ananda or endless bliss.

Being comforted and consoled by Lord Krishna in such a compassionate manner and beholding Him now in His charming human form with unprecedented attributes such as unlimited beauty, strength, compassion, omniscience etc. Arjuna was no longer agitated and was able to compose himself and restore his mind to its normal peaceful equilibrium.

Thus being consoled by Lord Krishna and free from agitation and fear, Arjuna states that he has recovered from his despair and is once again self- composed, serene and clear.

Slokam-13. ( I shall now explain the knowable, knowing which you will taste the eternal. This is beginningless, and it is subordinate to Me. It is called Brahmam, the spirit, and it lies beyond the cause and effect of this material world.)

jneyam yat tat pravakshyami yatjnatvamrtamasnute,

anadimat param brahma na sat tannasaducyate.

jneyam yat = (which ) the one which is to be known ( knowledge ); yat jnatva = ( if ) that one is known ( knowing that knowledge ); amrtam asnute = results in gaining amrtatvm; tat pravakshyami = that I will tell ( teach ) you; anadimat param brahma = that is the beginningless Para-brahmam ( the Supreme abode ) ; tat sat na asat na = that either sat ( cause ) or asat ( effect ); ucyate = cannot be said ( called ).

The use of the term innermost self to refer to the brahman does not create any contradiction bec…
